Episode Status Report

Here's some post-Super Bowl news for you: Chrontendo Episode 36 is more or less "done" in terms of content, and just needs to be checked, compressed, and uploaded. As mentioned a few posts back, I started a new job on Monday, and all the attendant stresses have taken their toll on me. But it's now time to pull myself together and focus on finishing Episode 36. So, I'm thinking... maybe tomorrow night?

(2/7/2011 - Not all the formats are uploaded yet, so Chrontendo 36 will not "officially" out until tomorrow night. But impatient types can check the usual places.)

Take your time, and do it right. We understand you've got other priorities that come first. Thank you for doing this project - we all need brief escapes from the rest of our lives, and this one takes me back to a time when just designing a game in so limited a space was a game more complex than chess.

I have a request, though. You've stopped putting the list of games covered in the video description on archive.org. I've found that useful if I want to go back and rewatch a single segment. Would it be possible to have that again?

Also, there is a typo in the segment about the Kelly Family. You left off the last zero in 20,000,000.

One additional note about Jeopardy!:When the computer players don't know an answer and type gibberish, they type the number of characters in the correct answer and often show several of the letters of the correct answer, too, giving you the chance to fill in the blanks ala Wheel of Fortune.

And yeah. Final Jeopardy! was really lame and you had to send people out the room or make them cover their eyes. :-\
